InsideOUT is a national youth charity seeking a Schools Coordinator for ten hours a week to support our growing organisation.

You will also be responsible for managing and developing InsideOUT’s relationships with schools and school groups. You will be responsible for overseeing the creation and delivery of a national network for schools with rainbow diversity groups/queer-straight alliances.

Additionally, you will oversee and deliver the monthly Wellington QSA Leader group alongside volunteers, and support InsideOUT in ongoing projects such as the Day of Silence.

InsideOUT is a growing organisation that works to support youth, whānau, schools, community groups, youth services, government agencies and other relevant organisations to provide safer schools and communities for young people of diverse sexualities, sexes and genders. In the last year we have experienced significant growth of our initiatives such as the nationwide awareness campaign ‘Day of Silence’, our annual youth hui Shift, and our support of schools’ rainbow diversity and Queer Straight Alliance groups.

We are looking for someone with superb networking and communication skills and outstanding knowledge of the challenges faced by sexual, sex, and gender minorities. You are self-motivated with strong time management skills, and will work to uphold the vision and mission of InsideOUT. Experience in youth work and cultural competency would be an advantage.
